What about the power lost pumping that heavier oil around? That's the whole reason for the push to thinner oils for modern cars, they help improve fuel mileage by reducing losses within the motor. -

I compared that to what is listed at the Brad Penn site. They have .15 zinc, .14 phosphorus in all but the 0W-30. The VR1 is .14 zinc and.13 phosphorus for all viscocities. I think both these numbers
